Chapter 885

Xue Ying promised to kill the two commanders from Chief Devil Cliff because these two parties did not belong any superpowers according to the intelligence reports.

Under the holy ground sects…

Like Great Void Heaven Temple, Primogenitor Island, Jade Light Sacred Territory, Blade Emperor City…

Firstly, these holy grounds would bestow protective treasures to their disciples, making it impossible for Xue Ying to kill them instantaneously since the other party could always activate the protective treasures. During this short period of where the treasure was activated, the superpower would definitely dispatch experts over from an ultra-long distance! Xue Ying might even infuriate the superpower with his actions, resulting in final realm existences to personally kill their way over.

Secondly, if he really succeeded in killing those with a huge background, the other party would not let things go so easily!

Like previously when Xue Ying suffered from assassination, the Great Void Heaven Temple immediately went straight to investigating the matter. It was because of Myriad World Tavern Master’s strength that hindered the investigation, forcing the Great Void Heaven Temple to let the matter rest.

‘Even my Great Void Heaven Temple did not discover any superpower behind Black Chief Devil and his brother! They did not discover them having any protective treasures too.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘Now, Black Chief Devil actually brought out a protective treasure. More importantly, he did not bring it out when he was facing me the first time as the 600 layers of Dark World descend. He had actually used his body to resist against it.’

Anybody who was not weak could easily see the horrifying might inherent within the 600 layers of Dark World.

But Black Chief Devil did not unleash his protective treasure during the first moment.

Why?

‘If the origin of the protective treasure is gotten honestly, why did he not use it the first time?’ Xue Ying thought, ‘For him to conceal his techniques, there is at least 80-90% chance that the other party is from one of the two religions.’

‘Who would have thought that I could meet such a huge fish this time!’ The eyes of Xue Ying brightened.

By the side, Monarch Qi Hu suddenly fell into a daze.

He was looking at Black Chief Devil who was covered in a layer of faint light with shock. This was his life and death brother, but he had never known that Black Chief Devil would have a protective treasure!

‘He has even concealed this from me? Furthermore, he would rather use his body to withstand against the attack during the first strike and not use the protective treasure? This time knowing that he will die if he doesn’t do anything, he thus decided to activate the protective treasure? Is he from the two great religions given how careful he is?’ Monarch Qi Hu felt his heart turning cold. Even though he was infamous outside, and was recognized as a huge devil within Myriad Ancient Sacred World…

He felt terrified about things involving the two great religions.

Because World Ancestor and Ancestor Sorcerer did not care about them. World Ancestor might allow his subordinates to indulge in battle within his territory, but whenever followers of the two great religions were discovered, World Ancestor would not relent and let things off so easily.

The three great sacred worlds were absolutely united against the two great religions!

“Sou.”

Monarch Qi Hu no longer had the will to fight. He did not hesitate to escape, but this place was under the suppression of Plate Ripple Diagram, and Xue Ying discovered his movement at the first moment.

“Hu hu hu.” With a thought, Xue Ying sent another three Sky Punishment Edges. They came in different directions at Monarch Qi Hu.

“Hua~”

Monarch Qi Hu’s blurred figure that was like a shadow had suddenly transformed with a ‘hua’ into a rolling stream of water. “Hong, hong, hong.” The three Sky Punishment Edges cut through the rolling flow of water, yet the stream of water was able to escape easily despite being intercepted.

This scene made the pupils of Xue dilate: ‘Such formidable survival technique!’

He was too low-profile.

Of the two commanders from Chief Devil Cliff, the great commander was infamous, though the second commander was much more low-profile. Usually, the second commander would only display his domain techniques to support the great commander. Even though it was stated in the intelligence report that Monarch Qi Hu was stronger in surviving, but how much more formidable… was not exactly recorded. Because Monarch Qi Hu had not met someone on the level of Xue Ying before.

Hence, his survival abilities had never been displayed.

‘He could actually survive against the full brunt of my Sky Punishment Edge. This survival capability is stronger than mine.’ Xue Ying sighed. As a Voidwalker who specialized in ‘void-ifying’ his body, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive against three Sky Punishment Edges still!

“Hu.”

Monarch Qi Hu’s speed was great.

He flew further away before tearing out a spatial passage. Xue Ying watched from afar without acting to destroy the spatial passage because he knew the other party could still escape after that. Instead, Xue Ying chose to concentrate on ‘Black Chief Devil’.

‘With such formidable survival capabilities, it should be impossible for the two great religions to control this second commander right?’ Xue Ying guessed.

The stronger the cultivator, the stronger he would reject being under control of the two great religions.

After all, it was being controlled from their souls! The cultivator would lose their sense of self and become a loyal soldier of the two great religions. It was still quite easy for the Ancient Sacred Religion and Ancestor Mother Religion to control Black Chief Devil from the dark since his battling techniques were more direct. But with ‘Monarch Qi Hu’ and his domain, his survival and escaping capabilities being so strong, it was much harder trying to control him.

‘Besides, some experts under the World Ancestor will likely investigate Monarch Qi Hu.’ Xue Ying thought.

Even though he had many thoughts, everything happened in a flash.

Xue Ying cast his gaze on Black Chief Devil. Black Chief Devil was still struggling to escape, yet under the influence of the Plate Ripple Diagram, he was hurled out after tunneling into the void.

‘Protective treasure? Let’s see how long this treasure will last.’ Xue Ying coldly chuckled. The Sky Punishment Edges descended once again before bombarding on his body.

…

In the distant Seven Star Oceanic Sacred World, within the Great Void Heaven Temple.

“Inquisitive Sky Hall Master, this is Dong Bo Xue Ying. I have discovered an expert in Myriad Ancient Sacred World called Black Chief Devil! I suspect he is a member of the two great religions.” Xue Ying transmitted over, “I am currently at Resistance Wind City.”

A silver-haired Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was seated on his throne.

His black eyes stared into the void. Despite being separated by a large distance, he was able to observe the battle happening in Myriad Ancient Sacred World, Resistance Wind City.

“You suspect he is a member of the two great religions because of his protective treasure? Is it possible that he found it incidentally, or purchased it himself?” Inquisitive sky Hall Master was carefully inspecting that Black Chief Devil. At the same time, he was able to check through the identity of Black Chief Devil through the inner intelligence reports of Great Void Heaven Temple. The other party was an expert at the fifth level Star Pagoda strength.

“In the past, he did not reveal himself, and I did not discover the existence of this protective treasure even in the reports of Great Void Heaven Temple. This is not ordinary already! Previously, he has even taken the risk to use his body and resist against my strike. I am over 80-90% certain that he is a member of the two great religions.” Xue Ying transmitted back his explanation.

Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was observing Black Chief Devil.

But closely following that, he discovered those Sky Punishment Edges which struck on him!

“This is?”

With the perception of Inquisitive Sky Hall Master, despite being isolated by a far distance, and that he was unable to feel the true power of the Sky Punishment Edges. But the technique could force Black Chief Devil to activate his protective treasure and to cause the surrounding space energy to fortify time after time. Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was able to deduce the conclusion easily, knowing that Xue Ying had cultivated the “Dark World”.

That was the second style of “Dark World” called ‘Sky Punishment Edge’!

Xue Ying had grasped the Sky Punishment Edge?

He was at the sixth level Star Pagoda strength?

Xue Ying had reached the sixth level Star Pagoda strength?

Inquisitive Sky Hall Master felt his heart booming. From how he sees, this was much more joyful than discovering a spy from the two great religions. After all, even though there were several formidable experts which were found by the Great Void Heaven Temple in history, and although some had fallen, some had reached the hall master position. But currently in this batch of Inner Hall Elders, all of them were at the fifth level Star Pagoda strength, and that was a regret of the Great Void Heaven Temple.

Yet now, there was someone of the sixth level Star Pagoda strength emerging?

‘That is the Sky Punishment Edge. No doubt about that. This level of power is unquestionable.’ Inquisitive Sky Hall Master’s eyes become brighter and brighter as he observed the battle from afar.
